Shoe was good as far as fit to size. where the toe begins you have a line above it which created discomfort for me. Felt a bit more stiff than it should.

It’s a wide toe box athletic shoe , much like walking barefooted, Gives feet chance to spread toes and feel the ground. A good option for foot health .

(What's this?)It seemed like a great shoe, but I have an irregular set of toes and the toe-box made it uncomfortable for my particular foot.

(What's this?)I ordered half a size up, and the fit is perfect. The wide toe box is the best feature of this shoe. It’s stable enough for lifting, flexible enough for calisthenics, and an all around comfortable cross trainer.

(What's this?)Bought a 13. Way too small. I might need to go up two full sizes to a 15.

(What's this?)These are awesome. Waterproof. Windproof. Extremely comfortable. Insanely grippy.

(What's this?)These run small - ordered my normal size - 11 - and could not get my foot in the shoe!

(What's this?)the arch support was not necessary what was necessary was insoles the carved out sole makes for an uncuttable felling. why couldn't the sole have been plain flat?

Well made shoes! But ... although the rounded toe box allows toes to spread out east-west, unfortunately, my long second toe bumped against the top of the shoe. So I'm returning my regular size 9 for a 9.5, and hope that works.

(What's this?)As weird as it is, this feels like Inov8’s replacement of the F-Lite. I loved the F-lite’s and tried the new model and found myself in a completely different shoe. After reading some reviews on Reddit where people noted this was a closer replacement I gave these a shot. I might have liked the original F-lite’s better but I do appreciate the boomerang insole in these and have been happy with them overall. The sizing runs super small. I’m a 9 in women’s for my regular shoes (7.5 in men’s) and I am a 10.5 in these (8 in men’s). Also these shoes are unisex. If it says they are out of stock in one gender, or the price is lower in one vs. another, they are the same shoe. 10.5W=8M.

I like the style and color. I ordered a half size up and it was still too short, so I'm ordering the full size up now. I consider it as having no arch support, but with my custom insert, it felt pretty good. Toe box room is perfect -- some room for my bunion but not overly so.

(What's this?)These were clearly used shoes, there was no packaging in the box and the bottom were very dirty

(What's this?)I have a pair of regular F-flys, size 40.5. I usually wear 9.5 US women’s, regular width fits my bunions well. I am an active physiotherapist who wears these daily at work, running around on concrete pad, and recommend this brand to patients with foot problems who need arch support—you can easily add an orthotic—and a wide toe box. Inov8: Please stop making pink and white women’s shoes!!! Newtons used to be my running shoe of choice, but now appears the company is going under. (Newtons marketed themselves to people who ran throughout the lifespan). Pls consider making bold colors —M & W—and adding a metatarsal roll bar on the sole. Agree with prior review about 0 drop heel. If you add a small cushion under the met heads , there’s no need to change arch height. PS. Do you need a PT on your design team? Love your overall design!

My 3rd pair of INOV8s & first one to not fit. I'm a true 6.5 and do not usually have any issues with shoes not fitting. These were too small & squished my toes. Sadly, I had to return them.

(What's this?)Inov8 loves to make the worst updates to the best shoes. Nice wide toe box but weirdly narrow mid and square heel made them feel off balance. Also run half size larger than most Inov8’s and 1.5 sizes larger than my regular shoe size. The toe box though wider is no longer all knit and kind of stiff at the toe.

Ordered down bc it said that's what fit best itbut it was to short

(What's this?)Unlike the previous review, these shoes are exactly what they are supposed to be. These are "barefoot" training shoes, so the arch support is supposed to be very minimum. Also, the width of the toe box is to allow for the the toes to be able to spread as though you were barefoot. As some who actually trains barefoot where allowed and able, these shoes provide the right amount of cushioning as to not take away the purpose of training barefoot.

(What's this?)Lightweight and comfortable. True to size. Wide front which I found to be very comfortable.

(What's this?)These sneakers have a wide front which in my opinion is great. They’re comfortable and are very lightweight.

(What's this?)I actually went up a half size because I read the reviews. I should have gone up a full size. The toe box seemed roomy and the heel seemed to fit well, I have a narrow heel. They look very nice. I think I’ll order a 9 1/2 and a 10 and send one back
Karin from Fort Smith on October 30, 2025
There are like bumps in the edge of the heel on these..like an arch support actually on your heel. The strangest thing. A total nope unfortunately!
Zappos Reviewer on October 24, 2025
I am returning them because my orthopedist said I need at least a half and inch heel for my feet and these were basically flat. They looked great!

(What's this?)I was surprised that these fit true to size as usually when I order Innov8's they feel small - very comfortable shoes
